Our main discussion in the show this week is the COLD! With the Winter Olympics currently in full swing, we look at how athletes can prepare and cope with these extreme temperatures. We're unlikely to experience these lows in triathlon but adaptation to the cold environments is an incredibly slow process. On the topic of cold, we also look at the challenge set by Diego Lopez... do you think you could complete an ice mile swim? In last weeks poll, we asked you what is the worst thing about triathlon. To Mark's surprise, 15% of you said that rest days are the worst. However, 'All the equipment' came out on top with 39% of your votes! This week, we ask you whether you would rather be too hot or too cold when competing? Also on the show this week, we discuss: - Tennis World #1 Caroline Wozniacki has revealed she is planning on taking up triathlon. - The release of Zwift runnning. - Marathon running being good for your knees. - ITU Cape Town Triathlon World Cup. - Gwen Jorgensen's new 5k PB of 15:15:64. - Coast To Coast race in New Zealand.
